"Chen Chun, do you really have a house here?"
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that this community is one of the best in the city. Our dean lives here. Are you kidding us?"
Chen Chun raised her head proudly: "Why, city people can live here, but we country people can't? Come on, follow me to work."
The three girls were still a little skeptical and followed her towards the residential building.
When Chen Chun took out the key and opened the door, the three rural girls felt unreal and opened their eyes wide.
"Wow, it's so big."
The house is actually not big, only 65 square meters, but there was no common area in that era, so it is about the same size as an 80-square-meter house in later generations.
(Unethical common area system)
The house has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. If Chen Xia were here, he would definitely dislike this "pigeon cage".
In the early 1980s, there was no concept of commercial housing sales, and people still mainly relied on welfare housing distribution.
Most of the staff dormitories in the unit are "tube buildings". The first floor is divided into many rooms and there is only one public toilet. Every household has a coal stove at the door for cooking.
So the house has a separate kitchen and bathroom, which is definitely something that only leaders of a certain level can enjoy in this era.
It is impossible for ordinary people to live in such a "luxury house". Yes, in the eyes of Zhan Aiju and others, this is a "luxury house".
Although the house was empty and covered in dust, the four little girls still visited it with great interest, their eyes full of stars.
"Achun, is this really your house? This is incredible."
"Of course it's mine. My second son just bought it for me. I just got the property certificate and keys. Now, I'm asking you to do the hard labor for me."
"Ah Chun, what does your brother do? Why is he so rich? Didn't you say before that he dropped out of school and worked as a farmer at home?"
"He's quite capable. Not only does he work at the local hospital now, he's also running some small businesses and making some money."
Shen Huishan pretended to be infatuated with him: "Achun, is your brother handsome? Wait, it's okay if he's not handsome, but since he's so rich, what do you think about me being your sister-in-law?"
"Well, I treat you as a sister, and you actually want to be my sister-in-law. Come, let me show you how powerful your future sister-in-law is."
After saying that, Chen Chun started tickling Shen Huishan's armpits until she begged for mercy.
The four little girls played around for a while, and then Chen Chun assigned tasks.
"Our task today is to clean up, then come with me to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy furniture and pots and pans. We'll cook here tonight, and I'll provide whatever you want to eat. How about that?"
"Today we are going to eat you, little rich woman, out of your money!"
The four girls cleaned up the place swiftly and then went to a nearby state-owned store together.
He chattered about all the furniture, picked and chose, and finally bought two beds, two large wardrobes, a desk, a chest of drawers, a set of dining table and chairs, and a set of sofas.
When Chen Chun took out a wad of money from her backpack, everyone believed that she was really rich now.
Although I felt a little sad, when I thought about my good sisters having a house and living a good life in the future, they were more willing to give me their blessings.
The furniture was delivered to your door by the furniture store, and of course you had to pay for the shipping.
The four girls carried back other kitchen and bathroom utensils themselves, and were busy directing the movers to put the furniture in various places in the room.
Looking at the full house, everyone felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and yearning. This is what a home looks like.
Fang Meizhen sighed and said, "I don't know if I'll ever be able to live in such a nice house in my lifetime."
Chen Xia hugged all three classmates together:
"Silly boy, this house will be our base of activity from now on. We can have dinner here every weekend. How about it? I'll pay for the food, Aju will cook, and Azhen and Ahui will clean up."
"Okay, okay, it's settled. Wow, from now on we can enjoy the life of city dwellers."
"Okay, okay, let's go to the market with me. Order whatever you want to eat today. Don't be polite to me. If you don't have enough money, I will tell my second son. I found him three wives. Let's see if he will give me money."
Hahaha.
The four of them bought a lot of fish, meat, and some vegetables at the market.
Everyone was starving and decided not to go back to school until they had enough meat today.
What a coincidence, I ran into my roommate Yang Xiuyun at the vegetable market.
Even though they don't like each other, they always say hello when they meet.
Yang Xiuyun was surprised to see so much fat in their hands.
"What's wrong with you four? Buying so much meat, are you going to have trouble making ends meet? Besides, do you have a place to cook? The dorm manager is watching you closely, and if you get caught, you'll be punished."
Fang Meizhen was relatively simple-minded and said casually, "It's okay. We won't burn it in the dormitory, we'll go to Achun's house."
Yang Xiuyun looked at Chen Chun, even more puzzled. "Isn't Chen Chun from Yuezhou? Are you going to Yuezhou now?"
Zhan Aiju couldn't stand the arrogance of these city students and immediately interrupted:
"Alright, alright, we're all starving, let's all go home and cook our own meals."
Yang Xiuyun looked at the shredded meat in her own bamboo basket, then looked at the big piece of fat meat weighing at least three pounds in their baskets, as well as a crucian carp and even a roast chicken.
I just can't understand why my classmate, who usually doesn't even want to eat white flour buns, bought so much fish and meat today.
After leaving the vegetable market, Yang Xiuyun found that everyone was actually traveling together and entered the same residential area, which made her even more surprised.
Her father is a section-level cadre and was allocated a 40-square-meter "big house" in this community. The whole family bid farewell to the tube-shaped building completely, so she has always had an inexplicable sense of superiority.
This time, seeing four poor classmates also come to this residential area where only leading cadres can live, her curiosity could no longer hold back, so she ran forward and pretended to follow Chen Chun and said:
"Student Chen Chun, why don't you invite me to your home?"
Chen Chun didn't care and "warmly" invited Yang Xiuyun to go upstairs.
When Yang Xiuyun saw the large house with two bedrooms and a living room, and the room full of new furniture, her eyes widened.
It was like a dream, and she instantly understood what "inferiority complex" meant.
"Chen Chun, is this house really yours? It's even bigger than mine."
Chen Chun pretended it was too hot and took out his house certificate as a fan. "Ah, why is there no wind at all this afternoon?"
When Yang Xiuyun saw the property certificate in her hand, she completely believed it this time. However, she could not hide the shock in her eyes. She could only say awkwardly:
"Well, then you guys get busy. I have something to do at home so I'll leave first."
Seeing Yang Xiuyun's lost look, Chen Chun felt very refreshed. This kind of invisible pretense was really cool.
